12. These people are filthy minded, and by their shameful and selfish actions they spoil the meals you eat together. They are like clouds blown along by the wind, but never bringing any rain. They are like leafless trees, uprooted and dead, and unable to produce fruit.
13. Their shameful deeds show up like foam on wild ocean waves. They are like wandering stars for ever doomed to the darkest pits of hell.
14. Enoch was the seventh person after Adam, and he was talking about these people when he said:Look! The Lord is coming with thousands and thousands of holy angels
15. to judge everyone. He will punish all those ungodly people for all the evil things they have done. The Lord will punish those ungodly sinners for every evil thing they have ever said about him.
16. These people grumble and complain and live by their own selfish desires. They boast about themselves and flatter others to get what they want.
17. My dear friends, remember the warning you were given by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ.
18. They told you that near the end of time, selfish and godless people would start making fun of God.
